Debate Feminism

This subreddit is a place of "debate" and "discussion" for individuals who honor and support those pursuing liberty and equality for all people, with a strong emphasis on the contributions of women and the traditions of feminist practice generally.

This space is intended to be used for the following purposes:

To attempt "becoming-woman" as it concerns issues of gender and sexuality, continually unfolding an understanding which may allow for greater constructive discussion.

To enact, educate, and otherwise envelope a certain thoughtfulness on questions of gender and sexuality by way of a plurality of perspectives and voices, and a diversity of flair and representation.

To discover and make manifest harmonies found in points of agreement and to work through the difficulties of disagreement between differing perspectives in feminist theory in a predominantly dialogical manner.

Rules

Do not use personal attacks. Please refute the central idea or point in a calm and reposed manner, and not the character or identity of a person.

Do treat everyone, regardless of gender perspective, with respect.

Do report spam, trolling, and personal attacks using Reddit's report feature. Please ask if you have any further questions, or make a [META] post to call the community to address an issue.

Do consider that each user has a unique personal history and perspective, and include a [TW] marker for potentially triggering posts.

Notice

This is a forum moderated by feminists. Moderators will act in accordance with the rules and will use their best discretion in action.

As such, public notice and reason will be given to the greatest extent of the moderator's fair judgment upon any removal or deletion of comments. In the event of ambiguity, a progressive valuation will be made (e.g. transphobia, homophobia, and misogyny have no place here).

This is a down-vote free subreddit. Accordingly, down-votes have been removed in a symbolic gesture which speaks to the desired productive and light-hearted ethos of this subreddit.

We ask again for charity in your interpretation of the other's position in the event of disagreement. Accordingly, we also ask that you please be mindful of your speech and the way it may affect others -- including and especially minority groups.

Please keep your responses both civil and polite. A little respect goes a long way to mend ideological disagreements. Further disagreements shall be brought to the attention of the community as needed.

Note: If you have any concerns with the way the community is operating, or you have suggestions for flair, either PM the moderator team or make a post.
